    Is it so troublesome to oil on the chain? Spray the chain with a degreaser such as WD-40, wait a while, then rinse the chain with water, then dry the chain with a clean towel, and then apply oil.

    It is best to have a special chain for oiling, which is generally humid (this chain oil has a good lubrication effect, but will be contaminated with dust) dry (the lubrication effect is general, but it will not be contaminated with dust) and some will be subdivided into ceramics and wax, etc., etc., I recommend using wax, the first is dry grease, which will not be dusty. Second, it will form a visible layer of ash on the surface of the chain, like sealing the chain with a glaze, and the lubrication effect is much better than that of ordinary dry chain oil.

    Apply the chain oil directly to the chain, then rotate the crankset and wait a few moments for the wax to form before wiping off the excess with a towel. What syringes, tired or not, mountain bikes are not so squeamish.

    Chains are wear parts, and proper maintenance is just a matter of extending their service life as much as possible. But you can't expect to do it once and for all, you must replace it when it's time to change, otherwise it will not only be tiring to ride, but it will also affect the life of the crankset and flywheel.

    Oiling is done to reduce friction and prevent rust. It's not easy to get on more. Generally, as long as it doesn't rust, it's fine. Too much oil is applied and the chain is easily damaged by slippage.

    Chain activity will distribute the oil evenly, which is not a big problem.

    There will be no tragic consequences for a short time, and the chains, cranksets and flywheels are not so fragile.

    Wolfs? Is it the Yafushi stone? This is a chain oil, not a cleaning agent.

    It is recommended to wipe the chain with a towel or cloth and then apply a wax lubricant (such as the finish line), which has the advantage of being grease-free, relatively clean and will not be contaminated with dust. The disadvantage is that the lubrication effect is average, and it needs to be used frequently.

    There is no need to get too much chain oil, just apply a little to the chain of the crankset and flywheel part, and then turn the crankset to make the chain move, so that it is enough.

    Choose a bicycle chain oil. Bicycle chains basically do not use engine oil, sewing oil, etc., mainly because these oils have limited lubrication effect on the chain, and the viscosity is strong, it is easy to stick to a lot of sediment, and even splash everywhere, which is not a good choice for bicycles. You can buy special chain oil for bicycles, and now there are a variety of oil varieties, basically remember the dry and wet two styles.

    1. Dry chain oil. It is used in a dry environment, and because it is dry, it is not easy to get stuck with mud and sand, and it is easy to clean; The disadvantage is that it is volatile and needs to be oiled more frequently.

    2. Wet chain oil. Used in a humid environment, suitable for routes with stagnant water and rain, wet chain oil is relatively viscous, can be adhered for a long time, and is suitable for long-distance travel; The disadvantage is that it is sticky, which makes it easy to stick to the mud and sand, and requires more careful maintenance.

    Bicycle maintenance.

    Bikes should be scrubbed frequently and kept clean. To wipe the bicycle, you can use 50% engine oil mixed with 50% gasoline as a wipe. Only by wiping the car clean, can we find the faults of various parts in time, pay close attention to repairs, and ensure the smooth progress of training and competitions.

    When inspecting the vehicle, it should be noted that there should be no cracks and deformations in the frame, fork and other parts, the screws in each part should be tightened, and the handlebar can be rotated flexibly. Each knot of the chain should be carefully inspected, the crack knot should be removed, and the dead knot should be replaced;

    Ensure the normal operation of the chain, do not replace the new chain during the competition, avoid the new chain and the old gear do not match and fall off the chain, when it must be replaced, the chain and the flywheel should be replaced together.

    It can be brushed with ceramic wet lubricating oil, Teflon chain lubricating oil, wet oil, dry wax lubrication.

    1. Ceramic wet lubricating oil:

    Containing ceramic particles, the wet state can form a thin film containing ceramic particles on the surface of the part, resulting in minimal friction and noise. Ceramic wet oil has strong adhesion and is not easy to wash off with water. It is mostly used for racing, off-road, long-distance travel, etc.

    2. Teflon chain lubricating oil:

    Dry oil, a dry lubricant containing DuPont Teflon, forms an oil film on bicycle parts after application that is dry and does not stick to the plaster easily, reducing metal wear. It is ideal for all riding conditions: on- and off-road, especially in dry, dirty, dusty environments, and in wet weather.

    But it's really poor to keep sex on rainy days.

    3. Wet oil:

    It is a traditional wet lubricant that has always been oily. It has the advantages of good waterproofness, strong adhesion of the oil film and long service life. Suitable for dry and wet environments and muddy off-road roads, it can be said that it is a real all-weather oil, so the bottle is printed with three symbols: sun, rain and snow, indicating that it can be used for long-distance riding and extreme weather conditions; It is suitable for rain and snow weather and long-distance use, and can protect the metal from rust and is not afraid of water, and it is said that the lubricity is the best among these types.

    But the biggest disadvantage is that the plaster is easy to stick.

    4. Dry wax lubrication

    Contains DuPont KRY Tech metal particles, which form a very smooth and hard film on the surface of the part, which plays a role in reducing the friction of the part, but does not stick to the plaster, and is suitable for use in dirty and dry environments. It can keep the chain clean for a long time, and it is the best choice for car lovers who love cleanliness. For dirty and dry climates, non-sticky and water-resistant, it is suitable for short-distance use, but it can also be used in transmissions and chains.

    Depending on your mountain bike usage, you can make the right choice!

    Hello, I have seen your inquiry, please wait for a moment and answer it for you immediately.

    Hello, I am your exclusive technician, attentive, careful, dedicated to answering your car questions, for you to find the corresponding problem solutions and solutions! Wet chain oil is the most viscous chain oil, it has the strongest waterproof ability, and does not need frequent oiling, so it is suitable for heavy taste cyclists, long-distance cyclists and bad road conditions players, but correspondingly, wet chain oil is more likely to get dusty, maybe the chain you just washed after oiling, after going out to ride for a period of time, it will become a black mess. Wax chain oil adds paraffin wax as a protective agent, leaving a mixed coating of paraffin and lubricating oil after the solvent volatilizes to protect the chain, and the waterproofness and viscosity are between dry and wet chain oil, which is a good choice for friends who want to keep the chain clean.

    Dry chain oils are mostly silicone-based oils, with a few exceptions, and are often used with anti-crush agents. Dry chain oil is less waterproof, but it is not easy to get dust, if you often ride on paved roads, and do not want to wash the chain often, and want to keep the chain clean then dry chain oil is the best choice for you.

    Wash with kerosene, the general bicycle with wolf's is fine, if the good mountain bike (**5k or above) or road bike (8k or more), or you cherish your bicycle very much, you can use the finish line (according to the environment you ride in, there are many varieties).

    The reason why it is written above is that the ** of the bicycle is also my personal opinion, a bottle of Finish Line 60ml is about 50 RMB, and Wolf's 60ml is about 10 RMB.

    Generally speaking, riding about 100km requires cleaning the chain once and oiling it.

    Hello, it's not the sound of the chain, it's the sound of the ball colliding in the axle. Before oiling, the steel balls inside the axle are encased in a mixture of lubricating oil and dust, and after oiling, the mixture is washed off and the sound of the balls colliding becomes louder.

    Normally, use chain oil, of course, it is best to use special chain oil for bicycles, generally with low viscosity can be, automatic wave phase oil, hydraulic oil, sewing machine oil is also OK, engine oil must not be on, even if it is low viscosity 0w, 5w, etc., it is also too large viscosity, and it is very easy to stick to the ash to form sludge on the surface of the chain. The oiling chain can feel the oil film, and it is best not to drip excessively.

    1. Mountain bikes.

    Areas that need to be oiled:

    1. Crankset, flywheel, chain. Oil every 50 km and every 300 km after washing.

    2. New cars with front wheels, rear wheels and central axle are oiled once every 20,000 kilometers, and then every 10,000 kilometers.

    3. The front derailleur and rear derailleur should be oiled once after encountering muddy water or rainwater pollution, or once every 3 months.

    4. All kinds of line pipes are oiled once a year.

    Second, the oil on the mountain bike is lubricating oil.

    Lubricating oil is fine, and generally it is given to the chain.

    Put some oil, buy a house and lay stones, and the other parts see what the configuration is, the oil dish.

    You can go to a specialty store for oiling, and it's okay for a general fork to be oiled.

    Yes, but ordinary vegetable oil has a low molecular weight, and it volatilizes relatively quickly and cannot achieve the effect of lubrication.

    Chain oils are composed of base oils and additives, which can be divided into the following according to the different base oils:

    1. Mineral oil chain oil, base oil is mineral oil, mainly used under ordinary working conditions.

    2. Synthetic oil chain oil, which is composed of synthetic oil base oil, such as PAG, PAO and ester base oil, is mainly used in high temperature and other working environments.

    3. Bio-based chain oil, mainly composed of renewable vegetable oil base oil, due to the development of technology, the performance of vegetable oil lubricating oil has been greatly improved, and some products have reached the performance level of synthetic oil. Due to their degradable and low-toxicity properties, these chain oils are commonly used in sensitive areas such as water sources, wetlands, and food processing plants.

    It is also divided into different chain oils according to the different use environment, such as high-temperature chain oil for chains with high working temperatures, food-grade chain oil for food processing industry chains, degradable chain oil for environmentally sensitive areas, and so on.

    ExpandExhibition Materials:

    Peculiarity. Super anti-abrasion, reduce the consumption of chain adhesion and take away;

    Reduce costs and extend the life of the chain;

    Very low volatility and low oil consumption;

    Thermal stability, anti-aging, long-term lubrication, extended service time, reduced maintenance, reduced labor costs;

    Minimal residue formation: high operational safety due to the absence of resin at high temperatures or the formation of paint contaminants that prevent the chain from working properly and stop the chain from working;

    High compatibility with paints: No negative impact on painted surfaces, avoiding rejects and high reprocessing costs.
